Fortunately, Imperial Doctor Zhu was quite knowledgeable and was willing to wait outside. Xiao Tianyao concentrated on massaging Lin Chujiu. He completely ignored Imperial Doctor Zhu’s existence. As if he didn’t exist.

It took half an hour for each set of massages. A short rest was needed in the middle before the next massage. It took a while before Xiao Tianyao finished all five massages.

Imperial Doctor Zhu estimated the time and said to Xiao Tianyao: “Wangye, let wangfei soak for another quarter of an hour, and then you can take her out.”

“… …” Xiao Tianyao, who was in the inner room, didn’t respond. Imperial Doctor Zhu stood outside and stared blankly, then pinched his fingers to count the time.

A quarter of an hour was not long nor short. For those who have something to do, a quarter of an hour was just the blink of an eye, but for those who count the time, a quarter of an hour was really long.

After a quarter of an hour, Imperial Doctor Zhu couldn’t wait to remind: “Wangye, the time is enough. If wangfei continues to soak, her body won’t be able to stand it.”

After soaking in the hot water for a long time, it can easily suffocate people. Lin Chujiu was in a coma now, even if she was uncomfortable, she can’t open her mouth. Imperial Doctor Zhu has to set the time.

Xiao Tianyao still didn’t respond to Imperial Doctor Zhu, but the “gashing” sound of water coming from the room was enough to show that Xiao Tianyao heard what Imperial Doctor Zhu said. Xiao Tianyao was simply too lazy to reply to him.

“Uh… Sure enough, being too nice will make people disgusted.” Imperial Doctor Zhu touched his nose with an uncomfortable look on his face.

When he sold Lin Chujiu before, he was not uncomfortable at all. Especially when he was praised by their prince. But now, when he wanted to protect Lin Chujiu, he was not only very uncomfortable but also disliked by their prince. He couldn’t help but feel sad just by thinking about it.

However, Imperial Doctor Zhu was definitely not the saddest person in the army. Xuanyuan Zhi was the most saddened person in the army at this moment.

Before Imperial Doctor Zhu left, although he fed him an antidote, the effect was too mediocre that it could just barely suppress the toxin. Xuanyuan Zhi couldn’t die, no matter how painful it was.

Xuanyuan Zhi was not someone who couldn’t bear the pain, but the pain penetrated up to his bone marrow. As if a hand had been inserted into his abdomen, stirring constantly.

“Ah…” Xuanyuan Zhi tried to endure and shouted in pain: “Come here, come over here. Where did the imperial doctor die? Come over here, otherwise, this prince will kill you.”

Xuanyuan Zhi lost his mind in pain. He had forgotten that this was the eastern military camp. He thought he was in the central empire, surrounded by thousands of people.

“Someone, someone…” Xuanyuan Zhi shouted. His body curled up into a ball as blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. He looked terrifying.

The soldier guarding him looked hesitant, wondering if he should go and invite a doctor to Xuanyuan Zhi.

If he invites a doctor, who will he invite?

“Doctor Zhu is treating wangfei, who are we going to invite?” The little soldiers looked at each other, but they only looked at themselves. They don’t know what to do.

They didn’t have the guts to go and rob the doctor treating their princess.

“Uh, Imperial Doctor Zhu said, he won’t die, just leave him be.” A rough big man hesitated, then said confidently, and finally added: “Wangye said, as long as people don’t die that’s enough. We don’t need to worry about the rest. If you think he is noisy, just gag his mouth.”

“That’s right, put a rag in his mouth, and he won’t be able to make noise.” The little soldier turned around and found two rags, picked up Xuanyuan Zhi roughly, then put the rags into his mouth. Then as if he was throwing rags, he throw people to the ground.

After doing all this, the little soldier went out. He didn’t look at Xuanyuan Zhi, so he didn’t see the pool of blood under his head… …
